March 22, 2024 - Brought by Mark last night to Fleming's, deep ruby with French oak on the nose & tasted like black cherries in chocolate with med. tannins & long finish, clearly Napa cab. Blind, I would have guessed a 19 Schrader, I loved it (but you have to like stereotypical Beckstoffer Napa cabs - not for French snobs)

March 22, 2024 - Two hour double decant. Deep dark magenta color. Blackberry, blueberry, and pecan pie. Dry, satiny, candied palate. Firm tannins on the longish finish.
This is great, but it’s young, primary, and oaky right now. Very fun drinker and it will improve (and it’s already very nice if you like fruit forward Napa CS). Mark1NPT was kind enough to supply this at a dinner with jsmorris707 and their beautiful lady friends. 96+ points1 person found this helpful Comments (6) -

March 22, 2024 - Two hour double decant. Medium magenta/ruby in the glass.
Nose of red fruit initially with a hint of camphor, but it quickly moved and settled on blueberry, which was beautiful.
Palate was very primary red fruit, then blue. Lots of barrel spice and great acidic backbone supplying its energy. Still a bit tannic on the backend but the fruit and energy of the wine rules here at present. Torn between 96 and 97 at present. Great match to the prime ribeye at Fleming's with Joel, Diane, Carol and Jaime. -

October 4, 2023 - First taste since my winery tasting back in 1/22. Decanted 30-60 minutes before taking to HMCs for dinner. Tons of blue fruit and some red early on and through the 2+ hours we drank it. Tons of BCellars energy. Some perceived the 16.1% alc but I did not, it just felt like the wine was strong and the fruit powerful. Smooth balanced tannins to the wine. This obviously has more time ahead of it but drinking very well right now with some air time. No harm in trying one if you have a few! Cheers!

January 10, 2022 - Two hour decant. Very deep dark magenta color. Black fruit, black olive, and subtly sweet barrel spice on the nose. Smooth, dry palate, with vibrant acidity. Very firm, full tannins on the very long finish.
This was a barrel sample that was drinking very tight. My rating is purely based on potential at this stage. Give this at least a year and a few hour decant. It will be bottled next week.1 person found this helpful Comment
